How to set up Outlook

The instructions and screenshots in this setup guide are for Outlook 2013. However, previous versions of Outlook are very similar, and you should be able to more-or-less follow the same steps to set up.

Outlook needs its own app password to access your information. If you use your normal password or your FastMail two step verification password on an external account, syncing
to an external service won't work and you will see a password error.

Click OK to save your changes and close the window. Click Next on the Add Account window. Outlook will perform a connection test. If it finds any issues, double check you've not made a mistake following the steps above.

Close the connection test window and click Finish.

Using all folders in Outlook

Outlook may not show all of your folders by default. To fix this:

Click on the FOLDER tab in the main menu.

Click on IMAP Folders. A new window will open.

Click Query. A list of your folders will then show.

Click on each folder, and then click the Subscribe button.
Your screen should look similar to the image below. Click OK to close the window.

Set up your calendar and contacts

Outlook 2013 does not support external calendar or contact server support by itself. You will need to use a third party plugin.
